I think you've answered my question, and I thank you, Marc. (Oh, Canada... home of Very Friendly People!)

I also dug thru a bunch of cables and such that came with a boxload of things at a University auction, which included a DOA Dock (probably bad power supply... but I have a line on another, one of these days... when I get my daughter to crawl up into their attic, currently too hot!). And in there, I find I have a little 3-inch gizmo labelled "APS SCSI DOC" with a male 30-pin square connector on one end, and a female 25-pin on the other. There's a little slide switch between 2 settings, whose logos are the tilted-square SCSI sign with a single line into it, and another with a double set of reverse arrows into the square... and apparently an LED that tells when one or the other is activated. I then have a rather standard looking SCSI cable that's male 25-pin on one end, and female 50-pin on the other, which will get me to the SyQuest. So now to resume my shopping, with a better sense of what should (and shouldn't) be on my list. Thanks again, -DHF ---------- Duo/2400 List, The friendliest place on the Net!
